I have a DUI conviction from 20 yrs ago. What if a plane I’m on lands in Canada?

I am a recently retired travel agency owner and I know of passengers boarding ships (headed to Alaska) in Seattle (which was making one port stop in Canada) and they were denied boarding because Canadian immigration gets the manifest a few days before the ship sails and they will instruct the cruise line to not allow the person to board. You need to read up on it.

The link you posted is to an immigration lawyer website written in a manner to scare the reader. If it is over 10 years, you will have no problem. Between 5-10 years, you may be stopped, but you may not and if you are, you can fill out the paperwork there. Under 5 years >> trickier and you will need to appy for rehab waiver in advance.

Can you post any citation for this 5-10 year squishy rule? Even the CBP website doesn’t say anything about a time limit. Says you have to apply for a waiver.

You are banned for life for that in Trudeau’s utopia and yet we can’t do the same here? What the F?

A DUI can stop you from entering Canada. They might be less stringent in a situation like 9/11, but you certainly can be denied entry.
